It’s October and that means Tyre Safety Month. As a corporate partner of TyreSafe, we are committed each day to improving road safety and tyre knowledge. Over the next month we will work to raise awareness of the critical role tyres play, supporting the TyreSafe ‘look who’s talking’ campaign.
Under inflation
Many accidents are caused by under inflated tyres. If you’re not doing it already, it’s time to start checking your tyres every month. You’ll be saving money, and you could save lives.
Isn’t once every few months enough? No, it isn’t. There are many reasons why you need to check tyre pressure every month.
The long-term mileage performance of your tyres depends on many factors. We explain what they are, and what you can do to prolong the life of your tyres.
The goal of tyre balance is to distribute weight equally around the entire circumference of the tyre. Wheels that are out-of-balance can cause uncomfortable vibrations while driving. It also results in premature wear of suspension and steering components, rotating parts, and tyres.
When wet weather strikes, driving conditions can change. Driving in the rain is much more challenging than driving in fine weather. Follow these safety tips for driving in wet conditions.
We are the first manufacturer to win summer, winter and all-season tyre tests in a single year from the UK's No1 selling weekly car magazine, Auto Express.
